This poplar safe with punched tin panels was made around 1870. It is marked by the maker George Muir of Alexandria, Virginia. Muir had a furniture manufactory on King Street advertising in the Alexandria Gazette that he had the “Finest Warerooms in the South.” The piece retains some of its original red wash on the surface. We do not have a safe in the collection, and acquisition of this fills a gap.
